In the past, mutinies were not rare, and they are the subject of an increasing number of studies. Of special interest in this regard are their international aspects and to what extent was there international proletarian solidarity - or the opposite. Various examples of Dutch ships in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries have already been studied. But they are really overshadowed by the one, world-famous mutiny on the Bounty, here represented by the first English edition of 1790.
